My Year in Poetry Scholarship Slam - CLOSED

Compare the person you are now to the person you were a year ago. Are you exactly the same? Didn't think so. Each day we experience new events, thoughts, and feelings that allow us to change and grow.

What shaped this past year for you?

We want to know what happened this past year that had a major impact on you. Take time to reflect. Did you have a personal epiphany? Get super into politics because of the election? Or did you discover a cause that you have a true passion for? Tell us in a poem what affected you this past year and why, for your chance to win.

Note: This is a sweepstakes scholarship. That means a winner will be chosen from a random drawing.

ELIGIBILITY

The basic requirements are this: (1) you are 25 years of age (or younger), and (2) you are a current or former high school student who will attend or is attending college within the U.S. or its territories.
